Nova Scotia - The perfect place to enjoy a lobster dinner

Lobster season is full of opportunities to enjoy this delicious seafood. Nova Scotia lobster is world-famous – and for good reason. We have some of the most fertile lobster fishing grounds, not just in Canada, but on the planet.

How to cook a Lobster

Lobster is at its best when:

prepared as simply as possible

served hot or cold

served with melted butter, lemon wedges and lots of napkins

The traditional Nova Scotia way of cooking lobster is in a boiling pot of saltwater, fresh from the ocean.

Cooking Lobster at Home

Ensure that the lobster is alive by checking for movement. Pull its tail back to see if it springs back to the curled position.

Before cooking, ensure that the elastic bands securing the claws have been removed.
